Mechanism of action

Dendrimers such as astodrimer are polymers that contain a central core, interior branches, and terminal surface groups adapted to specific targets. Astodrimer has a polyanionic outer surface that provides for multiple target interactions. The active surface groups bind to gp120 proteins on HIV's surface, preventing CD4 receptor binding by healthy cells and thus blocking transmission of HIV to healthy cells.
